Saint Laurent - The All-Things Saint Laurent Thread

[blueorchid]

Indeed, the Saint Laurent woman is a fantasy, and the clothes in the latest collections speak only to a certain demographic - which limits the possible clientele.

it's not even bourgeoise women who don't work, so they can't fray the nylons, it's like... women who are in a coma and physically can't move to prevent any damage

In an era of quiet luxury on one end and streetwear on the other, YSL has somewhat of a monopoly of that glossy, cinematic image, so I don't think they should move too far from that look. What they really need is to take a more grounded approach to the actual design, take a page out of Pilati's book and start thinking about what his YSL woman could wear before 5pm.

Let's take the latest collection as an example. The suits at the beginning of the collection could've been diversified by adding slimmer cuts, switching the pants for shorts and skirts, adding waistcoats. The "gypsy" looks in the middle could've been styled with cargo shorts instead to those sweeping skirts. The colourful looks at the end could've featured one-piece dresses, shorts, pants, a different jacket shape, etc.

Those sweeping dresses was the best part of the show I love them.

I am not surprised that selling in drop. The bag are very average and the majority of customers are young women, which not enough money to buy different brand. The price RTW is to high and they lack a collection of classics to wear at slightly lower prices so that they would think about buying a dress for a special occasion. In reality, the client goes to work and it is often an office job, so she only buys a handbag...

They need to revamp their leathergoods team. Most of the bags look like continued line from Stefano's era....the giant YSL logo is getting demode. They could have relaunch Muse.

I read it and can only recommend it, if you have a couple of months with not much going on in your life.

There is also an outstanding film by Raoul Ruiz (with Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, J. Malkovich, Pascal Grégory...) based on the book.

The only interesting thing in that video is John Waters (he needs money to produce his next movie).
